Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. It serves in the preparation of active ingredients in crop protection agents due to its halogenated aromatic structure, which can enhance biological activity. Also employed in the development of dyes and specialty polymers where bromo and chloro substituents allow for further functionalization through cross-coupling reactions. Its carboxylic acid group enables salt formation or amide linkage, useful in drug design for improving solubility or binding properties.
